Fliss Power Counselling

I started training as a psychotherapist in 2011 as the result of my own experience of being a counselling client. How I work as a counsellor is deeply informed by my personal experience of growth and change.

Experience and Interests

I have experience of working with the wide variety of issues brought to a general counselling service, including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, life transitions, issues around gender or sexuality, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties. I have also worked in a domestic violence counselling service. After volunteering for nearly 3 years, I am now a session counsellor at a charity supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I am also on the SAYiT database of therapists and counsellors providing counselling to LGBT+ young people in Sheffield (I work with the 18-25 age group).

A long career in financial IT means I have personal experience of the corporate world and the stresses and strains which can arise, including mismatches between personal and corporate values.

Qualifications and Professional Registration

I have an MSc in Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute (SPTI) in Nottingham and am a graduate member of SPTI.

In 2020 I completed the SPTI Trauma Studies course ‘A Relational Approach to the Treatment of Trauma’.

I have professional registration with UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy). I abide abide by the ethical codes of UKCP and SPTI.

I have full professional indemnity insurance with Howden.

I am Enhanced DBS checked.
